Bohemians captain one of 3 more players to commit to the club for next season

Keith Long is making good progress as he puts plans in place for the 2018 campaign at Dalymount Park.

THE CURRENT SEASON isnโ€™t over just yet but Bohemians are already working hard with a view to having a successful 2018.

Having announced new contracts for goalkeeper Shane Supple and defender Rob Cornwall yesterday, the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division side have today confirmed that Derek Pender, Paddy Kavanagh and Dan Byrne will remain at Dalymount Park next year.

The new contracts represent further good news for Keith Longโ€™s team, who will finish this season in the top half of the table after gradually pulling themselves clear of the relegation battle.

Pender, the clubโ€™s captain, has already spent six seasons with Bohs. The 33-year-old right-back joined from St Patrickโ€™s Athletic in 2012.

Byrne, a 24-year-old defender, came through the U19 side at Bohs in 2011, while 31-year-old winger Kavanagh is coming to the end of his fourth season with the club.

The Gypsies, who end their season by hosting Finn Harps tomorrow night, now have eight players signed up for next season. In August they announced new contracts for Warren Oโ€™Hora, Oscar Brennan and Fuad Sule.

    Congratulations from a Dub. Canโ€™t wait to see Dublin and Kerry go at it again in the Champo. Hopefully it happens and happens in the final.

    @my name: how is Kerry winning the league not at Dublinโ€™s (and every other team in the divisions) expense. Did Dublin win the league too? Congrats :-D

    @Justin Gillespie: well that it may have been but the correct decision obviously with the big game next weekend & safe from relegation. Imagine fielding a strong team & ladโ€™s getting injured for nothing really, the manager would have fingerโ€™s pointed for sure so sound decision
